Screen Rant’s Name: Silent Hill 2 Remake is phenomenal

The love letter fans deserved

While I had my doubts about Silent Hill 2 Remake When it was first unveiled, I’m glad Bloober team proved me wrong. The fact that It manages to capture the essence of the original game and modernize the experience of series newcomers is an achievement And I can only hope that the studio continues its success by tackling either the first or third game in the saga. With patch 1.04, it’s clear that the Bloober team is committed to providing as immersive an experience as possible.
